H4 Dependent Visa

The H-4 Dependent Visa allows the dependent spouse and children of any principal H-class visa holders entry to the United States and free travel in and out of the country.

The H-4 visa holder is dependent upon the principal H visa holder and will lose their status when the H visa holder loses their status, usually at the end of a period of employment.

As H-4 visa holders often include dependent children under the age of 21, study is permitted but a H-4 visa holder is strictly prohibited from working in the United States.

It may be possible for a H-4 visa holder to change status to another visa that will allow them to work in the United States.

H-4 Dependant visa holders may accompany any of the following temporary workers to the United States:

• H-1B Specialty occupations
• H-2A Temporary Agricultural Worker
• H-2B Temporary Worker - skilled and unskilled
• H-3 Trainee
